In St. Thomas’ Church, Newport on the
Isle of Wight, stands an extraordinary monument, touching in its
simplicity. It was erected over the tomb of Princess Elizabeth,
daughter of Charles I (1635-1650). This beloved royal child was
immortalized as such by Van Dyck in his great portrait of the five
children of Charles I, in which the future Charles II stands at the
centre, his left hand resting…
Following her wedding at St James’s
Palace to Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha on 10 February 1840,
Queen Victoria drove to Windsor for her honeymoon. Windsor had
mixed associations for the Queen. It was the place of the famous
contretemps between her uncle, King William…
The flowers that framed the Duke and
Duchess of Sussex as they emerged from St. George’s Chapel, Windsor
on Saturday as husband and wife have become part of another very
special moment. For some of those blooms have been turned into
posies which have been sent to hospices and women’s refuges across
London. The gifts from Harry and Meghan came to light on Sunday
evening when a series of tweets…
I was invited to experience the special
Royal Wedding spa at the Westin Nashville on Friday at the Rhapsody
Spa (which collaborates with United Kingdom-based ESPA). The
spa was based on the treatments that Meghan Markle (the now
Duchess of Sussex) usually receives. There…
The wedding bouquet carried by the
Duchess of Sussex at her marriage ceremony at St. George’s Chapel,
Windsor on May 19th 2018 wasn’t just pretty, delicate and very
spring like. It contained all kinds of special symbolism. In the
language of flowers, so beloved of Queen…
The Nashville Westin hosted a watch party
in their Decker & Dyer Restaurant where guests of the hotel, local
influencers and the public were all invited to watch fellow
American Meghan Markle (now The Duchess of Sussex) marry her
prince. It all began at 6.00 CDT (when the wedding officially
started at noon at St George’s Chapel). Photo: Brittani

If there’s one outfit that gets almost as
much interest as the bride’s on a wedding day, it’s that worn by
her mother. And just before noon today, as she walked into St.
George’s Chapel, Windsor to see her daughter become the Duchess of
Sussex, all eyes were on Doria…
Meghan’s mother Doria spent the evening
before the Royal Wedding with her daughter at Cliveden House Hotel.
The pair arrived yesterday evening looking happy and relaxed. Last
night, Doria was able to spend some quality time with Meghan before
she takes part in today’s…
We know all about the Americans who
married into royal families. However, there are some royals who
were born as citizens of the United States. Harry and Meghan’s son,
Archie, was born the same way, as he was automatically a US citizen
by birth through his mother since she has not renounced her
American citizenship. It will be the same for the future child of
the couple due later this year, and…
